Four ofBob Saget’s closest friends came together virtually to commemorate his life and the release of Netflix’sDirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute.
During their conversation, the four stars spoke about the new Netflix special,which was released on Friday, and reminisced on some of their favorite memories with Saget.
“The proceeds are going to causes that are important to Bob,” he continued, referencing theScleroderma Research Foundation, which Saget devoted his life’s work to after hissister Gay died of the disease in 1994. “I hope people feel a little bit better after they watch it because I know I felt a little better.”
“He would’ve bragged about this for a long time,” Mayer, 44, jokingly added.

In her rare appearance on social media, Loughlin, 57, addressed Saget’s passing and noted how she’s received an overwhelmingly supportive reaction from loved ones and strangers, alike.
“I think it’s been very heartwarming. People I don’t know coming up to me and saying, ‘I’m so sorry for your loss’ and people talking to me about how much Bob meant to them,” she explained. “He was everyone’s dad, he was part of everyone’s childhood… it’s still hard for me to believe that Bob is gone.”
At another point in the discussion, the pals spoke about Saget’s musical talents. Stamos, 58, said the beloved actor “was more musically talented than one would think.”
“Kelly [Rizzo]was so kind to give me one of Bob’s guitars,” the actor shared of Saget’s wife. “If I was throwing a birthday party or he was over my house for something, he would love to jam… I have a great video of Bob singing ‘Imagine.’ "
Mayer was in agreement, noting how Saget “really played like a musician when he played. The song might have been funny but the performance was completely sincere.”
Added Ross: “He never missed a chance to see some new music… he was a musical soul.”
